Government Relations donations in the 2010 FEC cycle

Government Relations × 2010

GOVERNMENT RELATIONS plus cycle 2010 equals $676,235. That figure is the harvested sum of itemized individual contributions in which the occupation field matched this string and the two-year federal election cycle was 2010. Lobbyist, Government Affairs, and Public Affairs are other keys if those words appear. This join does not recode the label into an LDA registrant list or a Senate lobbyist roster. Other cycle amounts are not fields in this packet except as the occupation total $10,141,599 and the remainder $9,465,364.

Parent hubs: Government Relations donations at /occupations/government-relations/ and the 2010 election cycle at /election-cycles/2010/. All occupations lists neighboring titles. All FEC ties keeps each occupation-year cell on its own path so a reader can move without mixing $676,235 into another year or another string. Do not add those parent pages into this cell. The 2008 Government Relations cell is a different presidential window. $676,235 is the 2010 midterm overlap only.

GOVERNMENT RELATIONS as typed, not an LDA registrant list or a Senate lobbyist roster

$10,141,599 belongs to the exact string GOVERNMENT RELATIONS across harvested cycles. It is not an LDA registrant list or a Senate lobbyist roster. People who wrote nearby wording — Lobbyist, Government Affairs, and Public Affairs — sit in other rows if the characters differ. The 2010 slice is 6.7% of that title bucket.

Amended individual contribution reports can move $676,235. A later harvest of the same occupation string can move $10,141,599. Rewrite only the sentence whose source moved. Live Government Relations donations and the live 2010 election cycle pages are the tables; this prose is a packet snapshot. Itemized individual contributions are the only receipt class in this cell.

1,037 government relations receipts in 2010

331 donors and 1,037 receipts — about 3.1 lines per donor. Mean per receipt about $652; mean per donor about $2,043. Those ratios are arithmetic on two harvested integers. They are not medians, not typical gifts, and not a claim about income. No median is published in this packet.

Neither 331 nor 1,037 is a census of every government-relations professional who donated. Unitemized gifts below the itemization threshold, in-kind goods, and bundled contributions without this occupation string are outside $676,235. Lobbyist, government affairs, public affairs, and legislative liaison are other keys when those are the words on the form.

Occupation versus PAC and an LDA registrant list or a Senate lobbyist roster

Cite $676,235 as Government Relations in 2010. Cite $10,141,599 as this title’s occupation total. Do not add the employer’s own PAC or the registrant’s LDA filings to either figure. Those filings are committee reports. Mixing PAC spending with $676,235 would blend FEC tables. All occupations lists neighboring titles so a searcher can open the other string’s cycle cell rather than rescale 6.7%.

FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates by self-reported occupation and election cycle. This join does not recode GOVERNMENT RELATIONS into an LDA registrant list or a Senate lobbyist roster. If a researcher needs those crosswalks, they start from the raw string. A midterm-year total does not prove the occupation’s motives, and it does not attach these gifts to any federal spending dataset.

How to cite government relations money in 2010

A clean footnote names occupation GOVERNMENT RELATIONS, election cycle 2010, $676,235 in itemized individual contributions, 1,037 receipts, and 331 donors on FEC.gov. Keep the itemized word. Mean dollars remain about $652 per line and $2,043 per donor in the cell. If the live Government Relations donations overlay has refreshed, quote the overlay. Do not treat 1,037 as unique workers in the trade.

Repeat the four numbers together: $676,235 in the 2010 cycle, 1,037 contributions, 331 donors, and 6.7% of $10,141,599. That sentence is the join. Gifts per donor in 2010 average about 3.1. That ratio is 1,037 divided by 331, not a measure of turnout.

Why this tie page is not either hub

Lobbyist, Government Affairs, and Public Affairs are neighboring strings, not parents of this cell. Opening those occupation hubs and adding their dollars to $10,141,599 would mix keys. All occupations is the index for those other strings. All FEC ties lists other occupation-cycle pages, including other years for Government Relations when those files exist.

Do not rank Government Relations against other occupations from this packet. The packet has one occupation total and one cycle cell. Rankings would require other occupation totals that are not facts here. Stop at $676,235 tagged Government Relations in 2010.
